Boundary? There are boundaries here?? Uh-oh...

Zanne, I, of course, am unfamiliar with your story so far, but if what you need is a failed unusual assassination attempt employing piano wire, I'd like to suggest stealing a bit from an obscure Spider Robinson story. In one of his tales, there was an assassin who used a length of piano wire, stiffened with a coat of polyurethane, which he would stick into a victim's heart from behind. It would rupture the pericardium, giving all the symptoms of a heart attack - and only a very careful autopsy would find the tiny hole involved.

Since you apparently need the victim to be injured, but survive, the wire could miss the heart, and the aorta, and puncture the lung. Debilitating and painful, yes, even dangerous - but not usually fatal.

Is that along the right lines?

No, I am not kidding around. This forum has taken a twist lately. It's starting to sound like a porn sight to me. I'm out of here.

Hmmmm My character would like that, but I already started to write it using the hair pin. Are you familiar with the big Oriental hair pins? She needs something she can twist the garrote with to strangle him.

Boy, it sounds blood thirsty when I post about it. LOL

No matter. He's an evil doer and needs to die. He replaced a child's gun with a real gun in order to kill a mobster's child and set off a mob war. Only the wrong child was killed. Government's hire him just because he is so indiscriminate about who he kills.

My grandpa said I reminded him so much of his aunt Bess, who 'got so mad at her momma she lit out across the (Kansas) prairies and became a Harvey Girl. Harvey Houses were respectable dinner stops along the early railroad lines who hired good girls, bunked them near the restaurants where they were cooks and cleaners and waitresses. Bess worked the circuit from Kansas to Texas and all the way out to Utah were she turned Mormon and married into a multiple polygamous family. She didn't stay long but kept going, riding the rails and becoming a hobo, and then no one heard from her again.

never ending travels resonate in my life.

LOL We know who you take after!

Hi ZanneMarie, DeaconBlues, Mescalero, True and Merle (and averyone else who is here who may have just slipped in)!

Looks like a misunderstanding just happened. Sorry Postpaleo! I know you didn't mean it the way it was interpreted!

Just stopped in to say a quick hello and check in on everyone. I'm going to go to bed early tonight. I found out tonight that one of my two living aunts has had a stroke. She has already gained function in the affected side - except in the leg, but this quick a recovery is always a good sign. (She's my mom's sister.) So I'm going to check on her tomorrow, and her granddaughter Stephanie who's 8 months pregnant. Need to be awake! They are both really nice people, and I'm glad they are relatives.

Hope you are all well!

I'll stick around for just a bit to see what's up, then off to sleep.

Chuck

Zanne! you blowed up!

Merle - are you doing ok?

I hope your aunt feels better soon! I hate when relatives are sick.


I had a solar meltdown. Whenever I make my avatar my picture, bad things happen, so I changed it back.

wow, kewl, I like that!

you know I never understood using the piano wire because if it sliced the victim's flesh, it would certainly be as effective on your OWN hands. . .or gloves. . or thick mits, but then you would miss the dexterity feeling where the wire was . . .or losing the grip by it slipping out of the mit. . .
If you are writing for Aspies, you better have some sort of rationale for considering the ramifications of your techniques and methods of garotte vs induced heart attack. .

Sorry about that Zanne! But the solar meltdown is very pretty! I saw a sunset sort of like that once - I was driving home out of the Smoky Mtns, turned a corner that opened out to a spectacular view and the clouds were all that color! Almost had an accident....(Oooooo color!! !.....oh yeah! I'm driving!)

She's not considering a heart attack. She just wants a weapon she can get inside without detection. She wouldn't use her hands on a garrote. In order to get the necessary tension, you use wooden bars to twist it so you get enough torque to strangle them. At least the ones I've seen in Mafia movies work this way.

Cosmic Cat:

That's another good reason to have a forum for just adults, and that way various threads can have a life of their own, without infringing on other conversations.

I left a couple sites, and they had very explicit areas, which I chose not to visit. Well, obviously I visited them to find out they were explicit, but then I left.

It can be very hard to know where each person's limit is, as to what is or isn't okay to discuss. Again, a good reason to have a forum that would allow people to discuss various subjects and to clearly see that there are other areas they might not want to visit.

I mean, I don't play sports. I'm not a sports fan. So any topic in the other forum that has to do with teams and sports and that stuff, I just skip over. And I can SEE what it is without even having to go in and look.

That's the beauty of many threads in a separate forum. Most of the time, the title clearly indicates the content. And if you do get a shock from something you hadn't planned on, you don't have to go back into that specific thread. I've had that happen to me on other sites.

It's very difficult to follow along in a multiple conversation, and you might be interested in one of them, but you can't read just one, because the conversations are simultaneous.

So you might want to put in your two cents in the Administration = WrongPlanet.net area in the "New Forum for Older Aspies" thread.

The whole idea of forums and threads is to find things you can read or contribute to, right? And you want to enjoy the areas you choose. It would be MUCH easier to keep up with the various discussions, if they were separated. I could read all of one area, and keep up with it.

Because by the time I've read all the posts for the day, I've forgotten most everything I was going to say and end up just sticking in some post that is kind of late and seems out of place. That's what happens when the conversation continues and changes when I am not here (or you, or anyone else).

I know. I like solar events, especially supernovas. Of course I love nebulas as well.

Hahaha! That's what would happen if I were in the story...

"Ha! I've got you...OW!! ! Wait a minute....let me see here, there that's better, got the glove on.....dammit, dropped the wire....hang on....oh shoot can't pick it up.......hang on ....let me get this glove off...."

Huh?

I would never, have never directed such a thing at a kid. Not in that tone or wordage. Ya, you got the old geezer part right and probably am a f*****g pig.

It's the general attitude I see with the whinners. I could just put it, "wallow in it, that doesn't work either". Now if you would care to go to the parent section, you would see how I handle such things. It might not be correct but I try with all my heart and soul.

I could have used shower head instead of electric and no I wouldn't even be there to see it, I hear hands work too. It's called masterbation. Get's you through the rough days, when the hormones are raging. Here's a shocker for you, I laugh when I have sex. OOOOO bogey man. Try it, but damned if I can laugh and have an orgasim at the same time, but I'm working on it. If you can't laugh at yourself you're in serious s**t. But they have anti depressents for those that can't, lets call em electrical shower heads for the mind.

The picking of the age of 20 was just random, but could have picked 35 or 13 just as easy. Apparently you just got a little culture shock. Everybody doesn't like things the same way, thank god. But by god I defended their right to do it and I'll die all over again, for it. And that includes your right to disagree with me and read what you like into it. And if you think for mother f*****g god damned second I didn't die in that horrible f*****g world come here I got a f*****g present for you.

Best advice is turn the channel and I guess you knew that one. Sorry to see you go and hope you reconsider.

True,

I wouldn't worry about it. In this thread we just kind of ramble. Anyone can bring up anything and we'll talk about it. That's what I've found. That's how we get to know each other.
